One of my hobbies is genealogy. My mother's Denton family followed the same geographical progression from Kentucky to Illinois as Lincoln's family. I don't have letters or many detailed records about my family, but Winkle in this book about Lincoln has researched and interpreted the period and the area in a way that is enormously useful in helping me to understand what life was like for my great-great-great grandfather and his family group in Flat Branch, Illinois. I found the book fascinating and appreciated the excellent scholarship and analysis. ( )

When I started to read this book, after a few dozen pages, I wasn't sure if I liked this book or not, since the book, in a way, really isn't about Lincoln. This book does a masterful job of helping the reader to clearly and completely understand America as it was as Lincoln was growing up. It is easy to judge Lincoln from a 21st century perspective, but how did Lincoln see the world from his own? This book provides a wealth of details about the world Lincoln lived in (including, of course, Lincoln and his role in it.) It provides many statistics to show, for example, the distribution of wealth in 1850's Springfield. (In fact, it provides so much information that you can almost envision the author in front of a computer screen trying to figure out just *one* more way of analyzing all the data. Sometimes the data provided is just overkill.) Ultimately, though, I felt that I learned a bit how Lincoln viewed his world and how it shaped him. Thus, I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants that added perspective. (If that perspective is not important to you, then skip it.) ( )
